KP International Market

The prices are only outshined by the incredible selection. Whether you’re looking for produce you can’t find anywhere else or packaged and canned items that are significantly lower than the ethnic aisles of your standard grocery store, you’ll be pleased you took the time to come here. They have foods from countries you cannot get even at the Asian markets on Broadway. I love going up and down every aisle and trying new things every time I go there. It’s fun and inexpensive. They even have a food court with various ethnic foods if you’re hungry. Can’t miss here!

I’m from Stockton and I’ve been dying to find a Korean market. I’m so glad to have found something closer than San Francisco. The market itself if pretty nice. It’s very different from the Korean markets in SoCal, but that is to be expected. There are a lot of Korean snacks and food you can buy and the price for most of them are reasonable. The organization of the market is a little confusing at first, but after a while you learn. The reason for a three star is because even though there are a lot of food here the variety offered is not much and most of the things that I was looking for were sold out. There are lots of things that people who love Korean or even Asian food would enjoy. Definitely gonna come back not maybe so soon but there is definitely a next time.

This market is huge! I really thought that it was only Korean stuff in here (which it mostly is), but they have lots Russian goodies for some reason. Does it have to do with a communist past? Who knows or cares because you can get your Asian grocery fix here at the KP. Just like most big Asian markets, they have restaurants connected to it – I’ll have to try The Red Alcove sometime. If you want to play some billiards or do karaōke, there is a place right next door to this huge store.

Love this store! It’s so massive. So many items that you wouldn’t find in American grocery store. They had Asian, Indian and European items. Jamaican products. They have fresh and live seafood too. So much stuff! It can be a bit overwhelming and most of the workers weren’t very helpful. Wear comfy shoes cause there’s lots of ground to cover!

I come to KP at least once a week to pick up some groceries. The prices are way cheaper than Safeway so it’s a no brainer for the most part. It’s specially good because every week they have meat specials which are ridiculously cheap. They also have plenty of international groceries to help round it out.
What am I deducting a star for then? Well their produce doesn’t always appear to be the freshest. It also seems pretty run down when compared to Safeway or Raleys. Yes I’m not there for the environment but at the same time it makes everything seem like lower quality.

This review is just for the customer service.
During a never ending quest for Coco Lopez, I called KP market and someone on the other end of the line assisted me. While KP didn’t have Coco Lopez, whoever assisted me was thee friendliest and most helpful person ever! Super patient and apologetic that they didn’t have the brand I was looking for. No huffing, sighing, stammering or your run-​of-​the-​mill apathetic temperaments delivered by so many customer service employees.
If that is any indication on how this business is ran, I’ll make a trek out to Rancho just to shop.

It’s hectic and can be dirty and you’ll get jostled about but damn it’s cheap and its one of the only places you can buy stuff like pocky sticks, hello pandas and chocobabies for REALLY cheap.
Love this place

I shop here frequently and for good reason.
Pros: I can buy quality sea salt in large quantity. They have a great selection of not only Asian but even Hispanic/​European etc. The fish is cheap perfect for a big family. I always purchase a new tea to try as well. Produce is cheap BUT you have to sort through them to get good pieces. They have a nice little beauty store with some unique stuff. They even have samples — and it can really help out because some items look gross but taste amazing.
Cons: The smell can be a bit much. Be careful if you order from the fast food area. The pictures are definitely not what you get and it doesn’t really taste that great either. Watch the prices. A lot of there items are cheap but you will find that some are very over priced!

One day you are leafing through your cookbooks and find a few recipes you would like to try. Only problem is your local grocery store does not carry any of the specialty ingredients for the recipe. Be it Korean, Indian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Peruvian (the list goes on and on) you are sure to find all the ingredients here.
The aisles seem to be arranged by nationality so if you are looking for spices or teas they will be found all over the store. Allow yourself plenty of time to explore all the aisles. You will be inspired to cook, or at least purchase some interesting snacks.
The produce section has great prices plus a huge selection of unusual fruits and vegetables.
Friends and I had lunch in the food court. I had the Korean chicken bento box. The portion was large but a bit pricey. The food court had plenty of tables and chairs and a large selection of condiments (such as banana sauce and Sriracha)
Now to start leafing through those cookbooks again.

love love love this place because if anyone knows me they know I’m pretty obsessed with Korean food. Good thing my BF is Korean ;-)
Since I started flexible dieting a couple months ago, I’m always on the search for some macro-​friendly food and this place is great for that and satisfying my taste buds!
Beef Bulgogi: ⁴⁄₅ — it’s really good
Spicy pork: ⁵⁄₅ — hands down one of the most flavorful
Homemade seasoned Napa cabbage: taste better than kimchi
Raw ahi tuna: ⁵⁄₅ — cheap and fresh
Avocados: ¹⁄₅ — pass on this, they taste weird
Purple sweet potatoes — ⁴⁄₅ — everything produce is cheap and good except the avocados
Kimbap: ⁴⁄₅ — it’s cheap! $ 2.99 and can’t go wrong with this if you like kimbap!
Everything here is pretty affordable. I love the variety of goods they have. It’s called international because they have foods of every ethnicity here.
They have a huge food court where they serve not only Korean food, but Chinese, American, Vietnamese etc. I would come by and eat here if I had time or if I was near.
Cashiers are quick. I’ve never waited longer than 3 minutes, seriously even on the busiest of days (weekends).

Before going in to class, I was looking for a spot to get a quick snack. I could have gone to the gas station, but I wanted more variety. Driving around, I finally remembered about the KP International Market. As soon as I walked in, I got excited! No! You don’t understand! I mean exited! From those 10 mins I had to spear, my mind was blown.
First of all, you have to understand where I am coming from. I am latino and there are times when I need to go to El Superior to get some Items I can not get anywhere else. Then there are times I want to make Phở (I love Asian Culture) so I go to the SF market next to Elk Groove. Now, the idea of having both of these different stores together seemed like I was asking too much, but when I found KP International Market, I was ecstatic! They have it all! I felt the same feeling as if I were in El Superior and SF Market at the same time! From the 10 min I was there, I saw everything I would expect from an Asian and Mex market. I couldn’t be happier.
In conclusion, I feel complete in this store! All I need now is a Asian girlfriend or wife and I am set for life. :D
I almost forgot, I initially went to buy one soft drink, ended up getting Chicharrones, Ramune Soda and Pocky.

Came here for the first time over the weekend. This place is huge! I felt very overwhelmed by how big this place is. We walked through the entire supermarket as much as we could. Purchased mostly Korean items at the end of the shopping trip. A lot of the items were priced kind of high in my opinion. The food court had tons of food, but I think Korean food was the best food to get here. Overall, good experience. Will come back next time to eat at the food court.

Holy cow! When is the last time you’ve made your way to the KP International Market??? For me, it’s been a while. And boy have they expanded! What used to be a regular Asian grocery store has exploded into one big Costco sized grocery store that not only houses Korean and Japanese food, but have now included Russian (and general European food — even alcoholic beverages you wouldn’t be able to find at Bevmo), Hawaiian, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Mexican food. Not only that, but right outside the registers are reasonably priced food kiosks — from a bakery, taco shop, phở spot, Korean cuisine, bento box heaven, and boba spot with loads of seating for small and large groups. It’s so huge its a little overwhelming and you probably need to take two laps just to make sure you’ve seen everything!
Instead of heading to South Sac and traveling to different spots just to get ingredients, this is now my one stop shop to buy whatever I need — From meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Wok Wednesdays, etc!

If I’m making Korean BBQ for dinner this is the only place I’ll come and get my short ribs and other meats, plus they have the best cuts. Where else can you get a 40lbs box of chicken wings or drumstick for about $ 20? KP have just about everything you need, and when their items are on sale, it’s super cheap! Their produces are very fresh as well, and they have just about everything you need.
–Huge selection of meats (beef, chicken, pork, duck, lamb, etc)
–Large selection of fresh seafood
–They make fresh chips, tortilla and salad daily
–Food Courts has about any ethnicity you can think of (Chinese, Korean, Mexican, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc)
–Restaurants (The Red Alcove) located inside of KP food court
–Café (The Blue Corner) located inside of KP food court
–Beauty store (Nature Republic) located inside of KP
–Wine tasting (Every Friday admission is only $ 1)
–KP has a store card. Your points can be used in the KP food court for free food!
Customer service is outstanding! This is the only supermarket in Sacramento that hires people when it rains to help you load your groceries into you car!
Plenty of parking as well, how can you not love KP?

KP International Market is one of the best grocery stores for many different ethnic foods. The Have Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and the list goes on and on.
When you walk depending on which side you come in on you will either enter through the produce section or the food court area. If you walk in through the food court area they have many different foods from Mexican, Chinese, Japanese and the list goes on how great! :) There’s even a beautiful waterfall like fountain that really makes the store lovely.
They also have a liquor store inside as well as many other little stores that sell pots and pans and skin care products and others I cannot remember it’s so much it can be a little overwhelming I mean the store is huge I know I spend at least over a hour inside because they offer so much my daughter and I go wild inside. lol! ;)
They have a bakery that offers many different Desserts from several ethnic backgrounds. So far I’ve tried the Korean rice cake, Baklava, cheesecake and Mochi.
Midway through the store they make handmade fresh tortilla that are so good I really love fresh made tortillas I like now I don’t have to drive all the way to the Mission District in San Francisco.
On the weekends the do samples of new products they get in which is a big plus it’s great to try a product before you buy and they normally sell it at special prices too.
There’s a really huge produce section that you will probably end up spending a lot of time at, but it well worth it and the prices are amazing.
I really like in the summer when they sell many different types of watermelon. My favorite is the yellow meat and the black melons. They are so sweet and full of flavor I always get excited when summer arrives as I can’t find those types of melons anywhere else but here.
They have so many different spices it will make you head spin but in a good way. I mean this store had almost everything you can think of even down to household products.
The have rows of many different frozen foods from whatever you can think of seriously. I love buying Lumpia, pot sticker, veggie egg rolls etc.
They have a meat department which in my opinion is mediocre at best. The seafood department though is where it’s at. I love getting my seafood here it’s so fresh and the staff is great!
I can go on and on about KP, but this review would probably turn into a novel. lol if you been here you already know what I’m talking about and I you never been here I highly suggest you stop by if you’re in the area you won’t regret it. Be prepared to spend money because they offer so much it crazy.
I’m so glad the Sacramento area has this wonderful little gem that’s not so little. I love KP and recommend this store to everyone.
By the way KP is also building a outdoor patio. I can’t wait it finished being built. I hope it will be smoke free and pet friendly.

Damn where to start? Im every where today! Just leaving this fabulous market man i swear if i was here on my day off i would be still be browsing checking out the deals. Produce section, HUGE! All kinds of rare produce u wont find at ur local save mart or safe way etc.
They have a meat section with all kinds of cuts of the animal i bet if i kept looking i probably could of found the beefs sphincter wrapped up and packaged, yea thats how much parts of the beef they were selling.
They have a this lil bad ass orange juice squeezer that squeeZes oranges as u wait and they pack it right in front of you. This the type if orange juice u need of u want to make Merlino’s orange freeze at home like how i do :) i will come back when i have more time and will be able to browse more. They have nice looking food court they also have fresh corn tortillas made right there on the spot. Also have fresh seafood available they have it all no need for me to keep typing getbur butt over there and check em out! I will return to venture more.

This market is HUGE!!! It has so much imported goods from everywhere. Russian, German, Asian, Polish foods and specialty items from meats, breads, teas, produce, drinks, cookies and candy and all the things in between. The produce prices are good and the hard to find items are priceless if its something you cannot find anywhere else. They sell tea pots and cooking utensils and pots and pans even. Beware you could browse around for quite a while if this is your first trip in and you will be in awe of the choices.
They have a bakery inside as well as a food court so you can get some lunch or dinner before or after you shop. Probably better to eat first since you know what they say about shopping hungry. There is a coffee/​tea place called the Blue Corner and Natures Republic which is a Korean skin care line. Recently added part of the KP market is the sit down Korean BBQ restaurant, Red Alcove, which is over on the far side of the Food Court.
I only wish this place was closer to me but it is worth the 30 minute drive of you make it worth the trip by having some lunch or dinner and then doing your shopping. Hey bring a friend and show them around if they haven’t been. I know my first time out here I was surprised I didn’t know this existed I mean I rarely go to Rancho so I needed the introduction to give me a reason to come to Rancho! LOL

Only place that carries the Spicy Kimchi roasted seaweed! They got cheap meats and a bag of Cuties mandarins are only $ 2.99 here! What a deal! The other reason I come here is for the food court! The Potato Twist is a must have. Omg I inhaled it. I got Cheddar flavor and that thing is huge! If you’re thirsty they also have a boba place too, but the line is long and the service is slow there. You might die of thirst before you get your drink. My experience of course. Definitely cool place to do your grocery shopping at and if you want hot foods!

Hi-​ya!
KP Plaza has just gotten bigger and filled with more and more unique eateries and/​services, but as I mentioned in a prior review the fresh corn/​flour tortillas are so good! Likewise you can find me munching away on the fresh tortilla chips.
The holidays have definitely influenced the area and beautiful lighting is spread all over the parking lot giving the place an awesome wintertime look.

After finished the job interview for Rancho Cordova Chipotle this Monday morning on 6÷22÷2015, I was heading to KP International Market for the first time. Man, this supermarket is very widely large as I walked in! This market has all the international foods that every items in every Asian supermarkets in South Sac don’t. They have Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Indian, Middle-​Eastern, European, Hispanic, etc. I was very pleased for this largest Korean business supermarket that all well-​known and exotic foods is totally available for the public residents. I highly applaud for that effort! The employees worked so hard to make these foods fresh and prepared; of course, they’re friendly and approachable for customers. No issues at all!
Every aisle of this store is well organized and neatly. The produce section is also organized too.
There’s a good, ample of parking in this lot, so you can park anywhere you want without worries. I managed to parked closest to the entrance door successfully.
In the end, KP International Market is the best international supermarket that every created! Highly recommend for this place!
